had the pleasure of hearing Rev. A. c. Dixon 8
sermon to workingmen last Sunday, subject-"The
true friend of the workingman." Whilst he IS .
friend of the laborer be is friend to the Anarch
list. The first idea advanced was that an enemy
may do us more good than friend, and ilustra-
ted it by Gambetta and his glass eye. His friends
all told him his eye perfect, beautiful, full OF
expression, denoting intelligence, but one day in
passing through the market in Paris, he stumbled
against an old fish woman and upset her basket
The old woman in her anger told him if he did
that again she would knock that other eye out,
which convinced Gambetts that his glass eye was
imperfect, though his friends had told him differ
ent He said the time was when there was fear
that the rich man would abhor the laborer, but
now Uice versa, and as an illustration of how little
a thing would make distinction in society, two
boys who had been in the habit Of playing on the
street, met one day and John said to Jim, ~ can't
play with you any more. My ma says your father
is shoemaker" "Well," said Jim, "whatis your
father" "Why, he is a manufacturer" DWELL,
what does he manufactured" "Shoes," said John.
"What is the diference?" asked Jim. "Just this:
My father makes thousand pair to your fathers
one." "Then," said Jim, 81 can't 60 with you
any more. You are thousand times worse than
l am"
To illustrate the love of the Creator for his
creatures he cited an incident of Gov. Brown, of
Georgia, who, being on a visit to lawyer friend
in San Francisco went into large store owned
and run by Chinaman. He wished to purchase
some articles, but was told by the Chnaman that
if he friend of the lawyer he could not buy
anything in his store, but might take anything he
wanted. When the Governor sought an explains
ton from his friend he told him that few years
before this Chinaman, with 200 others, came to
San Francisco and went into business there and
that this one had accumulated property to the
amount of $4,000 to 100000, and had gone
back on a visit to his country and was taken
prisoner and sentenced to death for having brought
his fellow men here and sold them into slavery
The lawyer took testimonials from these 200
and went to China and had John liberated and
brought back. In few days be went to the law
yers Office and presented him with deed for
$4,000 worth of his property, almost his entire
wealth. Of course the lawyer declined, but &C
cepted present of $4,000.
Miss Laura Norris, of Whitehall, was in town
this week and visited friends on Pinkney Place.
